get creative with the design. Some people are too standard, but I think you could do some pretty cool things.

Mind you I'm totally talking out of my ass right now but I'll give you a couple examples..

in my parents house, the tv room is adjacent to a large games room with a pool table/ping pong table. The sound system is circuited in the large games room and connected to a shelving unit. The shelving unit holds the DVD player, stereo/CD system, VHS player, and a main control box that all of these plug into. Now the shelving unit can revolve within the wall, and can be spun into either the games room or the tv room. It's pretty cool actually.

Another example at my friends house. They are re-doing the basement and are actually making a poker table fixture in the basement that can fold out from a cupboard storage compartment in the wall!

Projection screens are affordable, and just like a movie screen. Good idea too.

Edit: Also in my parents house in the laundry room... two cool things. The room is the directly below the master bedroom, which has a chute. So whenever my parents throw laundry away, it goes into the chute in the wall and falls to the compartment in the actual laundry room. Also there is a wall compartment that you can open and pull out a ironing board that is attached to the wall.

I know a guy that has two levels in his garage for all his cars... and then a power lift elevator to move the vehicles up and down floors... not too sure how many cars you own but.. just another example of creativity.
